2 Baking sheet

Mushroom Filling:
- 8 oz Crimini Mushroom Slices
- 1 Small Onion
- 2 Garlic Cloves
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
- ¼ teaspoon Dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Sour cream
Pastry Dough:
- 3 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 4 ounces Cream cheese
- 2 Large eggs
- 2 ¼ cups Almond flour
- ⅓ cup Unflavoured protein powder
- ¼ cup Coconut flour
- ¼ cup Almond milk
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- ½ teaspoon Baking powder
- ½ teaspoon Salt
Mushroom Filling:
In food processor (or by hand, ew) chop mushrooms, onion, and garlic together, until mushrooms and onions are small, fairly uniform sized bits.
Put in frying pan with olive oil, and cook down until mushrooms are very soft – almost mushy. Add thyme and sea salt, remove from heat, and stir in the sour cream.
Put aside and allow to cool a bit.
Pastry Dough:
Measure mozzarella and cream cheese into a microwave-safe bowl. Heat - 45-60 seconds at a time - until cheese has melted.
Measure remaining dough ingredients into a food processor, blitz to combine.
Add melted cheeses, pulse until well combined - you don’t want to see any sections of unmixed cream cheese, etc.
Assembly:
With wet hands, divide dough into 30 roughly equal pieces. (I start by dividing it into 3, then each piece in half, then each into 5)
One at a time, flatten a piece of dough into a circle approximately 2.5" across – I like to do this in the palm of one hand. Place a scant teaspoon of filling in the center of the circle.
Fold the dough in half around the filling, gently pinching the edges together to seal. Transfer each to prepared baking pan, leaving a little space between each.
Whisk egg together with 1 tablespoon of water, brush over the top of each turnover.
Bake for about 15 minutes, or until lightly golden.
Remove from oven, allow to cool slightly before eating. Best served hot - fresh out of the oven or reheated... IF they last that long.
